♦ The opening of French boutique Comptoir des Cottoniers on Spring Street was hosted on Wednesday evening by Susan Sarandon and Eva Amurri; they were joined by Ann Dexter-Jones, Andrew Saffir and Daniel Benedict, Chris Benz, and Jessica Joffe, who were all obliged to avoid cameras unless they wanted to end up on Marie Claire's new reality show Running in Heels, which was filming there.
